About

Often considered one of grindcore's founding fathers, Carcass were among the first bands of the extreme metal genre to try a different lyrical approach -- one that reflected a fascination with surgical gadgets and peculiar words straight out of a med student's textbook. Hailing from the same locale that spawned the Fab Four -- in case you lived under a rock for the past few decades, Liverpool -- Carcass were originally formed in 1985 by singer/guitarist Bill Steer (who would later play with Napalm Death) and drummer Ken Owen. By 1987, singer/bassist Jeff Walker had signed on with the band, resulting in a deal with Earache Records shortly after. The trio then issued a pair of full-lengths that are often considered classics of the grindcore genre, 1988's Reek of Putrefaction and 1989's Symphonies of Sickness.

Shortly after the dawn of the '90s, Carcass expanded to a quartet, as Michael Amott signed on as second guitarist, resulting in two more favorites of the metal underground, 1991's Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious and 1992's four-song EP Tools of the Trade. Whereas he once sang in a growling voice à la a dragon desperately in need of some Pepto-Bismol, Walker adopted a slightly more traditional metal singing style, while the band was no longer afraid to let Iron Maiden-esque guitar work enter the mix. The result was the group's major-label debut for Sony, 1994's Heartwork. Although Heartwork is probably Carcass' best-known album, fan reaction is often split evenly between those who feel the group had sold out with a more easily digestible sound (quite comparable to thrash metal) and those who feel that it's one of the '90s great metal releases.

Either way, Amott left the group around this time, and was replaced by Carlo Regadas for Carcass' final studio album, 1996's appropriately titled Swansong. The same year, a compilation of rarities was issued, Wake Up and Smell the Carcass. Subsequently, Owen, Walker, and Regadas continued working together for a spell under the Blackstar name; Amott formed both Spiritual Beggars and Arch Enemy; and Steer surprisingly formed a blues-rock power trio, Firebird. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

  • Out of this world

    by B.Gwenyver on 5/4/23The Belasco - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    Carcass show was a masterpiece. Explosive energy. Has the best time of my life. Plus got to meet some of the band members. So down to earth. Carcass fan for life 🤘

  • Awesome!

    by Doll91 on 5/3/23The Belasco - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    I didn’t like how they can’t take ID in pictures. I drove from the San Bernardino County and they didn’t want to accept my picture driver license

  • excellent, perfect, awesome, no more words

    by elias on 5/2/23The Observatory North Park - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5

    the perfect night and ambiental, the metalhead, mosh, the bands, the playlist and songs marvel in this show

  • Great show!

    by RealmOvChaos on 5/2/23The Observatory North Park - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5

    Had a great time! If you haven't seen Carcass yet and you're a fan you got to see them live they throw a mean show!

  • Very good concert

    by El gallo on 4/18/23The Observatory - Santa AnaRating: 5 out of 5

    I just went to see this guys last year when they played with Amon Amarth in Vegas and Los Angeles so when I heard that they are going to headline the Observatory didn’t hesitate and bought my ticket.

  • Carcass is amazing

    by Noj on 4/17/23Irving Plaza - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The whole show was amazing. From Creeping Death and Municipal Waste to Carcass everyone brought their a game to this show.

  • Mostly went for Municipal Waste

    by Bobby-Belgian on 4/16/23Irving Plaza - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    As the venue was not sold out and few people early, we were offered to access the lounge before door opening. Beers are still way overpriced. Venue still nice. Bands had good sound. Crowd was not in on the wave of death routine by Municipal Waste which was a bit of a downer but great show.

  • Carcass, Municipal Waste and Sacred Reich

    by T. B. on 4/16/23Baltimore Soundstage - BaltimoreRating: 5 out of 5

    All the bands were on and put on a great show. The crowd was enthusiastic and a few people even brought their little ones who were rockin' out. Overall it was a fun night. Hopefully this is a picture of things to come for the rest of the year.

  • Wall of Sound

    by d98 on 4/16/23Baltimore Soundstage - BaltimoreRating: 5 out of 5

    As loud and powerful as possible. They really blew the doors off. Sacred Reich, one opener, was reasonably loud. Municipal Waste followed and was louder and faster. Then Carcass comes on and assaults your ear drums with unrelenting chords and endless screams. You may expect them to have slowed down after having been doing this for over three decades, but they haven’t skipped a beat. Don’t miss them when they come to your town!

  • Sacred Reich fan

    by CriCri on 4/15/23Baltimore Soundstage - BaltimoreRating: 4 out of 5

    My boyfriend and I are HUGE Sacred Reich fans. Their tour manager decided to do a VIP meet and greet. We were able to chat with the guys, it was AWESOME!!! But we hate death metal, so we suffered through Creeping Death, then Sacred Reich came on. They were great, as expected. Loved them, and their latest CD is kick ass with a positive message. We went home after their set. No interest in the other bands.
